What are the required steps to convert base 10 decimal system
number 240 050 to base 2 unsigned binary equivalent?
- A number written in base ten, or a decimal system number, is a number written using the digits 0 through 9. A number written in base two, or a binary system number, is a number written using only the digits 0 and 1.
1. Divide the number repeatedly by 2:
Keep track of each remainder.
Stop when you get a quotient that is equal to zero.
- division = quotient + remainder;
- 240 050 ÷ 2 = 120 025 + 0;
- 120 025 ÷ 2 = 60 012 + 1;
- 60 012 ÷ 2 = 30 006 + 0;
- 30 006 ÷ 2 = 15 003 + 0;
- 15 003 ÷ 2 = 7 501 + 1;
- 7 501 ÷ 2 = 3 750 + 1;
- 3 750 ÷ 2 = 1 875 + 0;
- 1 875 ÷ 2 = 937 + 1;
- 937 ÷ 2 = 468 + 1;
- 468 ÷ 2 = 234 + 0;
- 234 ÷ 2 = 117 + 0;
- 117 ÷ 2 = 58 + 1;
- 58 ÷ 2 = 29 + 0;
- 29 ÷ 2 = 14 + 1;
- 14 ÷ 2 = 7 + 0;
- 7 ÷ 2 = 3 + 1;
- 3 ÷ 2 = 1 + 1;
- 1 ÷ 2 = 0 + 1;
2. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive number:
Take all the remainders starting from the bottom of the list constructed above.
240 050(10) Base 10 decimal system number converted and written as a base 2 unsigned binary equivalent:
240 050 (base 10) = 11 1010 1001 1011 0010 (base 2)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
